Dr. Doug was born and raised in Haledon, NJ, one of three sons to Rich, a milkman, and Lois, a church organist. He married his Calvin College sweetheart, Patti, one week after graduation, and one month later, started dental school at UMDNJ (now Rutgers Dental school). After graduation, he did one year General Dentistry Residency at Bergen Regional Medical Center, after which he opened up his own practice in Midland Park, in 1981. Along the way, hes had four great kids, Eric, Adam, Jaclyn and Joel, three beautiful daughter-in-laws, Kimberly, Karen, and Anna, and three grandchildren (so far) all of whom he considers his greatest blessings. He has always enjoyed sports, food, gardening and laughing with friends. Throughout his career, hes been able to volunteer time to short-term medical-team missions to Central America, and has always had a love & dedication to the church and its ability to help people in need. Dr. Doug considers his patients his friends and has always preferred a first-name basis to titles and formalities. The best part of his dental career has always been the relationships he has had with his outstanding staff and so many wonderful patients.

Best Dental Experience

That was by far the best dental experience I have ever had. Your office is just a joy to be in, can't believe I am saying this about a dentist visit! You are all extremely personable and caring. The fact that you are helping me with figuring out my dental insurance is worth it's weight in gold. I love you guys!

Always Positive

Coming for a cleaning and check-up at this office is always a positive experience. I feel as though the hygienist and Dr. Eric take plenty of time to be thorough and address any issues I might have, in addition to being super friendly and interested in me as a whole person, not just a set of teeth!

Fabulous

Fabulous experience all around. Kudos to Drs. Doug and Eric and each of the staff who have created an environment where each patient is greeted with warmth, respected by keeping an efficient appointment schedule, cared for using the most up to date tools and resources, and entertained by conversation, humor and trivia. They make dental hygiene fun!

First Experience

My first experience with Dr. Eric and his staff was excellent. I was very happy with the beautiful office, the friendly and helpful staff, my gentle hygienist for the cleaning, and Dr. Eric for taking the time to explain his work to better care for my teeth.
